Martha and Ben's Visit

Martha and Ben (John's sister and nephew) came for a "Christmas" visit.  They live in Sao Paulo Brazil and traveled here to visit us the holidays.  They went to Seattle prior to our visit Dan (Martha's son).  We had a great visit.  Jen was able to get a few days off and flew in for the weekend.  My brother's family came down and we celebrated Christmas with lots of presents and a great meal afterwords.

Ben was really surprised with his present from Jen.  It was a marsh-mellow gun.  They had a lot of fun with it.

Martha brought flip-flops for all the girls. We love them!

Group Shot of the Webb Family.  This was actually taken Christmas Eve at their home.  We forgot to get a group picture of everyone.

We had such a great visit.  It is always sad when everyone leaves.  Martha is hoping to return this fall.  She is negotiating with several colleges to hopefully come back and teach.  And. of coarse visit her favorite sister in law!

Our Home is now For Sale!

We placed our home on the market January 12, 2010. We interviewed three realtors and decided to list with Jeff Van Utt and Century 21. Jeff has been talking with us from time to time over the past two years and has really helped us prepare.

Initially he went through each room of our home and gave us advice on what needed to be accomplished. Our list was over five pages long but with a lot of hard work we are now ready to go.  Jeff has really listened to us and spent a lot of time helping us achieve our goals. Here are a few pictures of us as we signed the contracts. We were very excited and a little nervous too.
